Fumaça Waterfall

General Information

The Experiece

Discover one of the largest waterfalls in Brazil, located in the heart of Chapada Diamantina. At 380m high, Cachoeira da Fumaça is so high that the water cannot reach the ground evenly, giving the effect that inspires the name of the waterfall. It is considered the largest waterfall in Brazil in free fall, a true spectacle.

To get to the waterfall, we need to climb for 1 hour to the top of the mountain. From there, we will walk for another 1 hour on flat terrain, in a place that was previously used to protect oxen during the flood season. Today, the area is extremely preserved by drivers, firefighters and park monitors, which gives us the opportunity to contemplate several endemic plants that grow in the rocky field.

What we'll eat?

Picnic

During the walks, the picnic is equivalent to lunch. We prepare some meals trying to balance vitamins, proteins, fiber and carbohydrates.

Safety

Local Trekking guides with a lot of experience gained on courses and trips in Chapada Diamantina. In addition to security protocols that begin with serving our participants through consultation forms.

During operations we use portable radio communicators in addition to the Spot X bilateral satellite communicator with S.O.S. button. for extreme situations.

The itinerary may undergo changes due to weather conditions or any force majeure factor that those responsible deem important.

Safety at Fumala Waterfall

Sua segurança, conforto e diversão são nossas prioridades. Por isso, contamos com guias formados em cursos de APH (Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar) e CMC (Competências Mínimas de Condução) conforme as normas da ABNT, além de alguns com certificação WAFA. Todos os guias estão equipados com kits de primeiros socorros para áreas remotas, e trazem consigo ampla experiência em montanha.
No entanto, salientamos que não se trata de uma atividade 100% segura, mesmo com todos os cuidados, prevenções e responsabilidades que adotamos, imprevistos e acidentes podem ocorrer. Como em praticamente todas as atividades de aventura em ambientes naturais, há um elemento de risco (animais peçonhentos, quedas com fraturas e escoriações, tempestades, inundações, acidentes em geral, etc.). A viagem escolhida ocorre em locais selvagens, onde procedimentos de resgate podem ser demorados (podendo levar mais de 5 horas para o início do socorro, serviço não incluído em nossa reserva). Quebras mecânicas no veículo de transporte também podem provocar atrasos ou alterações na viagem. Por isso ressaltamos a extrema importância dos participantes portarem todos os equipamentos obrigatórios informados na aba checklist. A falta de equipamentos obrigatórios impossibilitará a participação na atividade.
